Chapter 286: Meat on the Sticky Board

Even if he has not been in Yicheng for a long time, the surrounding situation from Taierzhuang to Yicheng Highway is very familiar to Hu Biao and the soldiers under his command. From the time the troops were assembled to the time they arrived near the road, it took less than an hour in total.

Compared with other anti-Japanese war units, the spy company led by Hu Biao is more familiar with night battles. Marching at night has also become the practice of the special service company. Arriving at the area where the reconnaissance team was located, Hu Minyi, the deputy platoon commander of the platoon, who was the leader of the group, also began to report on the situation.

After listening to Hu Minyi's report, Hu Biao also began to consider the location of the ambush battle. Considering the limited time, Hu Biao finally decided to place the ambush point in the place where the ambush tank squadron had been ambushed earlier, and the trenches there were just enough to be used.

Regarding Hu Biao's decision, the other members of the team did not object. There are only about 200 little devils in total, and they don't carry any heavy weapons, so everyone thinks that it shouldn't be a problem to take down this group of little devils.

When going to the ambush site, Xu Sandao also asked, "Captain, do you want to inform the 40th Army?" ”

"Forget it! Waking up people at night is somewhat troublesome. The most important thing is, even if you notify them, do you think they will be able to make it to come? If my judgment is correct, these little devils want to break through and leave Yicheng at night.

If we hadn't kept an eye out and arranged a hidden reconnaissance post near the highway in advance, this little devil might have escaped. At that time, even if the 40th Army wants to go out of the city to pursue, it may not be able to catch up with these little devils who are bent on escaping.

When the ambush battle starts on our side, if the 40th Army is not too incompetent, we can guess that there is a war outside the city. When we're done here, it's time for them to come over and clean up the battlefield. They should be happy to do it! ”

As soon as these words came out, Xu Sandao also smiled and said, "That's right!" The gang of the Forty Army is indeed very clean when they clean up the battlefield! ”

"Isn't it clean! In these years, the landlord's family still had no surplus food, let alone the troops who were fighting. Counting on the allocation of everything from the superiors, it is not an easy task to feed so many troops. Prepare more supplies, you can save your life when it is critical! ”

Knowing more information about the 40th Army, Hu Biao also knew that Pang Bingxun's reputation in the Northwest Army did not seem to be very good, and he was regarded as a general of the Northwest Army who took the initiative to defect to Lao Chiang. But in Hu Biao's view, this kind of refuge is actually not a betrayal.

If the troops under Lao Jiang could really deal with the little devils with all their hearts and minds, maybe the War of Resistance would not be so hard. Han Fuqu, who was engaged in military law earlier, let the little devil drive straight in precisely to preserve his strength.

If Han Fuqu, who was guarding Lu Province, dared to fight with the little devils who invaded Lu Province, I believe that the little devils would not be so fast and advance the offensive front to Taierzhuang. The situation of the battle of Xuzhou, maybe there will be other changes!

As a bystander and participant, the 40th Army commanded by Pang Bingxun did fight bloody in the battle to defend Linyi. The 40th Army, which originally had two divisions and one brigade, now has less than one main division.

If Pang Bingxun was really the kind of person who was at both ends of the snake and mouse, he would not have been in Linyi for so long. No one is perfect, and a veteran general like Pang Bingxun, in Hu Biao's opinion, can persist in the War of Resistance, and he feels that he is much better than those traitors.

Arriving at the ambush position where the fortifications had been built earlier, looking at the armored vehicles and tanks that were still abandoned on the side of the road, Hu Biao did not dig a pit again and plant explosives. Dealing with a group of little devil infantry, Hu Biao felt that there was no need to be so troublesome.

When the little devil crosses this section of the road and sees these blown up tanks and armored vehicles, I believe that the little devil will also pause. If possible, perhaps the vanguard and the middle troops may converge here.

Although he didn't see the little devils on the highway, Hu Biao still agreed with Hu Minyi's analysis, and the little devils in the middle were the most valuable. The two groups of little devils in the front and back, as long as they hit the little devils in the middle, I believe they will rush to reinforcements.

And what Hu Biao has to do is to rely on the fortifications dug earlier to solve this group of little devils who fled to Yicheng. As for whether there are big names among them, we may be able to know after the battle.

Ryosuke Isoya and his party, who had successfully escaped the encirclement and suppression of the Fifth Theater of Operations, were rejoicing in escaping the pursuit, but they did not know that they had fallen into an even more dangerous trap. Falling into the hands of Hu Biao and his party, they will definitely die.

In order to avoid the occurrence of fish that slipped through the net, Hu Biao divided the troops he brought in into three, with the reconnaissance team as the rear unit responsible for outflanking, and another squad was sent to stand by at the earlier machine-gun position to be responsible for blocking the vanguard of the little devils.

The main force of the company, under the command of Hu Biao, focused on dealing with the team with the largest number of troops against the little devils. In order to ensure safety, Hu Biao even deployed several mortars behind the ambush position to provide artillery cover and strikes for the company at any time.

When the vanguard team of the little devils entered the ambush circle and looked at the armored tanks abandoned on the side of the road, the Japanese squad leader who led the team quickly said: "There is a situation!" Be vigilant! A few of you go to the front to see, what the hell is going on? ”

"Hey!"

The little devil who was ordered to check the situation quickly and cautiously touched the abandoned chariots, looked at the tank armored vehicles covered with bullet holes, and the little devil from the military police of the division and regiment, quickly guessed that these abandoned chariots belonged to which team.

One of them said: "This should be the tank of the 10th Separate Squadron!" Yaga, they should have been ambushed here! ”

"Hurry up and report to the squad leader, this place should be the attack area of the tank squadron that returned to the reinforcements earlier!"

Vigilantly watching the situation on both sides of the road, many little devils also felt that the atmosphere was a little depressing, but standing on the road and looking carefully, they still didn't find any danger on both sides of the road. In the disguise of the spy company, the little devil can find out that is called a strange thing!

Knowing that the section of the road ahead was the place where the tank squadron that had returned to the reinforcements earlier was attacked, the leader of the pioneer squad also breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Sure enough!" It seems that the squadron of independent tanks is really broken! I don't know, who exactly ambushed them. ”

"Squad leader, what should I do? Would you like to go back and report it? ”

"Send someone back to report to the general and carefully inspect the vicinity of the road!"

"Captain, although this place is very dangerous, there should be no enemies. If there was an enemy, it should have been discovered a long time ago when we checked earlier. Let's hurry up and see if there is any hostility ahead! ”

Regarding the vigilance of the squad leader, the squad felt that there was no need to be so nervous. At present, the most important thing for them is to leave the road as soon as possible, bypass the defenders stationed in Yicheng, and go to the occupied area controlled by the Japanese army.

Faced with the rebuttal of his subordinate Jun Cao, the squad leader also felt reasonable. If there is really an enemy, the soldiers should have discovered it when they reconnoitred earlier. What's more, when they came here, the troops of the Fifth Theater who surrounded and suppressed them earlier should not know.

If they really found that they were coming to Yicheng by taking the mountain road, the troops stationed in Yicheng wanted to stop them, and it should be impossible for them not to move at all. It's night now, and if a large army marches, there will definitely be lighting.

On the other hand, they didn't use flashlights at all along the way, and they basically marched in the dark. If there is an ambush near the road, as a vanguard team, they should be able to detect it in advance. But so far, they haven't noticed anything out of the ordinary!

Ryosuke Isoya and the others, who were marching behind the vanguard team, were also surprised when they heard that they had discovered the place where the independent tank squadron had been attacked earlier: "In addition to the abandoned chariot, are there any other discoveries?" ”

"Nope! Judging by the traces left on the battlefield, the tank squadron should have been bombed by the Chinese army. Moreover, the Chinese army should have used large-caliber machine guns or anti-aircraft guns, and many combat vehicles were riddled with bullet holes. ”

"Is it safe around?"

"I've checked and found no hostile information?"

In the face of Seya Kai's inquiry, a military officer who returned to report the information also quickly explained the situation. In this case, as soon as the vanguard team left on the front foot, the main force of the gendarmerie responsible for protecting Ryosuke Isoya arrived.

Hu Biao, who was lying in the trench, looked at the little devils who appeared on the road with the help of the moonlight and starlight, which were not bright tonight, and said with a little surprise: "Three knives, do you think these little devils are a little different?" ”

"Captain, they're all little devils, what's the difference?"

"Among these little devils, the number of veterans is a bit large. Looking at their vigilance movements, do you feel familiar? ”

"Captain, you better say it directly! I really don't see any difference between these little devils! ”

"You should know that a combat unit is different from a guard unit, right? If I'm not mistaken, these little devils who slipped into our territory can't be the guard of the little devils. Who do you think will be the ones who will travel with the guards? ”

"Commander of the little devils! No way! If there really is a commander of the little devils in this gang of little devils, then we can make a lot of money tonight! The commander of the 10th Division, no matter what, is also a lieutenant general! ”

"Hey, hey! Almost! In any case, there must be big fish among this group of little devils. Inform the troops, wait and give me a hard beating, no one is allowed to rush to the highway without my order. Pin them down the road and consume them with bullets! ”

"Yes, Captain! You don't need to be so careful, do you? ”

"If these little devils are really the guard unit of the 10th Division of the Japanese Army, then these little devils should be very strong. Right now, we have trenches to cover, and the little devils can only stay on the road, and they can't consume us! ”

"Understood!"

Thinking of the two team members who died early yesterday morning, Xu Sandao also understood that what Hu Biao didn't like to see the most was the casualties of his subordinates. I'd rather spend some more bullets than risk the lives of my teammates.

Compared with this group of escaped little devils, the ammunition and equipment carried by the spy company are obviously more and stronger than those of the little devils. If you attack, the longer it drags on, the more unfavorable it will be to the little devils blocking the road.

Realizing this, Xu Sandao didn't say anything more. If you can achieve the greatest result at the lowest cost, why not? What's more, the little devil who stepped into the ambush circle is already a piece of meat on the sticky board, and it is up to them to decide how to cut it!
